hydrostatic pressure not less than the maximum working pressure of the
system. Leakage test may be performed at the same time and at the same
test pressure as the pressure test. [Test ductile-iron pressure lines in
accordance with the requirements of AWWA C600 for hydrostatic testing.
Leakage on ductile-iron pipelines with mechanical-joints [or push-on
joints] shall not exceed the amounts given in AWWA C600; allow no leakage
at joints made by other methods.] [Test concrete pressure lines in
accordance with the recommendations in AWWA M9, Chapter 10, "Hydrostatic
Testing and Disinfection of Mains." Leakage on concrete pipelines shall
not exceed 1.88 L/24 hours per mm of pipe diameter per kilometer 20 gallons
per 24 hours per inch of pipe diameter per mile of pipeline.] [Test PVC
plastic pressure lines in accordance with the requirements of AWWA C605 for
pressure and leakage tests, using the allowable leakage given therein.]
